Along the 2 1/2-mile round-trip trail, we found prolific growths of black sage, cliff spurge, chamise, coastal sagebrush, California encelia and Indian paintbrush, many of the plants exhibiting tiny blooms in late winter.

The objective of this study is to quantify the degree of association between Coleogyne ramosissima (blackbrush) and three of its commonly associated woody species, Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Encelia virginensis (brittle-bush), and Gutierrezia sarothrae (snakeweed) in the Spring Mountains and Sheep Range of southern Nevada.
